Ok, first off, please forgive if this is too easy and I'm just not getting it.
I work for a school district and we just purchased a third-party CMS for some individual sites. However, the URL's are decidedly messy. eg
http://allofe.indep.k12.mo.us/independence/contentm/easy_pages/easy_page_view.php?id=126
However, for our parents to access the sites, we want them to be as simple as
http://central.indep.k12.mo.us
I'm thinking I need to use <VirtualHost *:80> to do this. An example for one of the schools is
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName central.indep.k12.mo.us
DocumentRoot /independence/contentm/easy_pages/easy_page_view.php?id=126
</VirtualHost>
|
However, because each school points to a single file differentiated only by the id number, I'm not left with a warm fuzzy feeling this is right.
Am I on the right track and just a little off, am I way off the mark, or am I on the money and don't realize it?
If I'm way off, where should I be looking to fix this so we can deploy it?
Thanks,
Tony |

I've been looking at mod_rewrite as suggested and it looks like there are a hundred examples which all point to leaving the base URL the same.
From what I'm getting it looks like my best bet is a RewriteMap and then mapping each page_id=### to the specific "subdomain" involved.
Am I on the right track with this or have a taken a left turn somewhere I shouldn't have.
No, I haven't drank the kool-aid yet on this. |
